William Blake: Selected Poetry and Letters de William Blake

William Blake: Selected Poetry and Letters

Autor William Blake Introducere de J. M. Beach
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 aug 2012

Descoperim în acest volum o dimensiune a geniului lui William Blake care, până acum, a rămas adesea inaccesibilă publicului larg: unitatea indisolubilă dintre viziunea sa poetică și măiestria sa de gravor. Reținem că, pentru Blake, textul și imaginea nu erau entități separate, ci un tot unitar, o metodă de exprimare a mitologiei sale personale care nu a mai fost întâlnită sub această formă de la manuscrisele iluminate ale Evului Mediu. Putem afirma că experiența parcurgerii acestui volum Paperback de la Thames & Hudson este una profund senzorială; cele peste 360 de ilustrații color ne permit să observăm cum siluete minuscule dansează printre rânduri, în timp ce flăcările par să mistuie marginile paginii. Simțim o forță aproape tactilă în felul în care pasajele cu rezonanță biblică sunt întrerupte brutal de imagini tulburătoare ale distrugerii sau eliberării. Credem că această ediție nouă este esențială, deoarece aduce laolaltă planșe care anterior existau doar în exemplare unice sau în tiraje extrem de limitate. Ca și The Selected Poems of William Blake, acest volum pune în valoare forța revoluționară a versurilor sale, dar cu un accent critic pe componenta vizuală, oferind contextul complet necesar înțelegerii operei sale „iluminate”. Spre deosebire de o antologie clasică precum The Complete Poems, aici textul este dublat de transcrieri fidele și comentarii de specialitate, transformând lectura într-o incursiune în laboratorul mistic al artistului.

Descriere scurtă

William Blake's first biographer, Alexander Gilchrist, wanted to believe that Blake was a "new kind of man; and hence his was a new kind of art, and a new kind of poetry." However, what sets William Blake apart as a great poet and artist was not that he was so "new," but that he was so "old." He was a part of a mytho-poetic and Vatic tradition as old as poetry itself. Blake was heir to a mytho-poetic tradition that can be traced back to the very foundations of human thought and speech. The extraordinary in William Blake was not the "man," but his Vision and how he expressed it. But most (if not all) of Blake's contemporaries, and a great many since, wrote Blake's genius off as madness. Gilchrist explained, "it is only within that last century and a half that] the faculty of seeing visions could have been one to bring a man's sanity into question." But divine inspiration has always been the hallmark of mythological poetry and religious prophetic utterance, and Daemonic inspiration was even the source of Socrates' rationalism. It is realizing and perfecting the "visionary" component of the human mind, which is the central focus of most Visionary's work - sometimes to the point of alienating those do not share in the Visionary understanding. But Blake "claimed the possession of some powers only in a greater degree that all men possessed and which they undervalued in themselves & lost through love of sordid pursuits." The Visionary, while seen as extraordinary and a genius, is only a glimpse of what all human beings can experience for themselves. Blake's poetry needs to be read as the expression of a visionary genius who saw what others could not see. He is an enduring testament to the creative powers of the human mind. The book includes: Selected Poetry of William Blake Songs of Innocence Songs of Experience The Book of Thel The Marriage of Heaven and Hell All Religions are One There is NO Natural Religion The Book of Urizen Jerusalem Selected Letters of William Blake

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
"If you know Blake's poems you're getting only half―or rather none of―the picture."―The New York Times In his Illuminated Books, William Blake combined text and imagery on a single page in a way that had not been done since the Middle Ages. For Blake, religion and politics, intellect and emotion, mind and body were both unified and in conflict with each other: his work is expressive of his personal mythology, and his methods of conveying it were integral to its meaning. There is no comparison with reading books such as Jerusalem, America, and Songs of Innocence and of Experience in Blake's own medium, infused with his sublime and exhilarating colors. Tiny figures and forms dance among the lines of the text, flames appear to burn up the page, and dense passages of Biblical-sounding text are brought to a jarring halt by startling images of death, destruction, and liberation. Blake's hope that his books would obtain wide circulation was unfulfilled: some exist only in unique copies and none was printed in more than very small numbers. Now, for the first time, the plates from the William Blake Trust's Collected Edition have been brought together in a single volume, with transcripts of the texts and an introduction by the noted scholar David Bindman. Includes: Jerusalem; Songs of Innocence and of Experience; All Religions are One; There is No Natural Religion; The Book of Thel; The Marriage of Heaven and Hell; Visions of the Daughters of Albion; America a Prophecy; Europe a Prophecy; The Song of Los Milton a Poem; The Ghost of Abel; On Homers Poetry [and] On Virgil; Laocoon; The First Book of Urizen; The Book of Ahania; The Book of Los. 400 color illustrations
